I’d have to think that kicking their tires is simple due diligence, but what if they make a $600M+ offer? What does that say to Vlad if he was the franchise player but only gets half to a third of that? I just think the culture as a whole has to be looked at when trying to make this type of offer. I personally don’t believe any player is worth the crazy numbers being thrown around, but in a contract year you have to particularly be careful of what this money says directly to your main guy. It just doesn’t help set a good tone by doing such a thing.
